摘要:
A computing device is described that selectively displays or suppresses personalized information on a lock screen based on the results of a biometric user authentication process. In embodiments, a measure of confidence that a user of the computing device is an authorized user is determined based on biometric data collected by one or more biometric sensors. If it is determined that the measure of confidence satisfies a criterion, then personal information associated with the user is selectively rendered to the lock screen while the computing device is in the locked state. If it determined that the measure of confidence does not satisfy the criterion, then such personal information may be suppressed from the lock screen. The application of the foregoing technique to selectively provide or deny access to certain functionality of the computing device via the lock screen is also described.
摘要:
The techniques discussed herein may facilitate user account management while also protecting a user's personally identifiable information (PII). The user's PII is stored in a protected area, such as a secure operating system area. The techniques may also implement a broker process to access a user's PII. The techniques display a user's accounts that are available for use with an application. The techniques further provide for passing a hint to the application upon receiving selection of an account, wherein the hint indicates which user account is selected, without divulging to the application any of the user's PII.
